About Your Instructor
Rie Ito
Rie is from Osaka, Japan where the Kumon Method was established. She studied at the University of Utah and graduated with a B.S. Degree in Speech Communication with an emphasis in organizational communication (currently renamed strategic communication). Before becoming a Kumon Instructor, she was a Kumon Assistant, special education TA, restaurant manager, and translation reviewer. She was inspired to become an instructor after seeing the progress and results that her son experienced having been enrolled in the program. Rie’s goal for the center is to help kids catch up, progress, and excel. She wants them to know that her center is a safe place to make mistakes that they can learn from.
